Things to do in San Francisco Ferry Building

Wait times for the boats was a little long but all in all everything went very smooth and it was a good experience

easy to find the pier, got onboard quickly and it wasn’t too busy on the day I went. they have audio to talk about places the cruise went through

Tour was good since it takes you around the city but some stops are a bit far from touristy spots. We had to walk a lot uphill just to see Lombard. Aquarium suddenly wasn’t part of the tour on the day we joined so we didn’t get the tickets that were supposed to be included. Sunset tour was worth it though.

Want to see the Golden Gate bridge up close? You will on this cruise! Audio has lots of good information on the bay, sites nearby, Alcatraz, and of course, the Golden Gate bridge. 1 hour cruise was worth the time and price. Lots of photo opportunities, it can get chilly, so be prepared. Drinks and snacks are available, and lots of indoor seating. Of course the best views are on the deck!

Very good experience to cruise around the San Francisco Bay during Sunset. Have a closer look of Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, Angel Island.

The weather was so great that we could see the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz very clearly. We thought the boat would dock at Alcatraz Island, but it didn't; however, it was actually nice because we got to see various other viewpoints in detail.

This was a bus journey across the iconic Golden gate bridge then stayed 10minutes to marvel the stunning views of SF bay and bathroom break. Then our next destination was the Muir Woods National monument, with entry tickets included by driver/speaker. He will leave you to explore the park at your own pace for 90minutes. Then, the bus will drop you off to the delightful coastal town of Sausalito. Very nice and relaxing place. We had lunch there and took our time to explore the town. The ferry fare is included so you can extend your stay at Sausalito before returning to SF. The ferry ride gives you views of the Alcatraz Island and takes about 20-minutes ride. Docking at Pier 41, in the heart of Fisherman’s wharf.

It was a tour without a single Korean person, and it was wonderful. We departed right on the dot at 8:40 across from the Gray Line office. They give you a quick moment to take pictures at the Golden Gate Bridge, visit two wineries, and then give you an hour and a half for free time for lunch at Sonoma Plaza. After visiting one more place, we headed back and arrived at 5:30 PM. It was also really great that the driver provided tour commentary the entire way there and back! Even if your English isn't very good, it's still plenty of fun. I used ChatGPT for real-time voice translation throughout the tour to understand, and it was so enjoyable. My only regret is that I couldn't chat with the other tour members because of my English. I highly recommend that Koreans experience this tour, even if you aren't fluent in English!

If you love Disney, you should definitely go; it was amazing! If you download the app, you can listen to audio guides in Japanese (you might even want to listen to them while still in Japan). Not only is the interior great, but outside there is a sprawling lawn and viewing spots where you can enjoy classic San Francisco sights like the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and the Palace of Fine Arts.
